Emma said she struggled to explain to the 10-year-old why he wouldn't be getting the console.

She added: "If you say something with Corey he has it in his head and it has to be that way. He likes things to be a certain way.

"He's absolutely devastated. He was like 'well I want it'.

"It's £350 I can't afford to make that difference - he's just really disappointed.

"He just could not get his head around it. His money has gone but he's not going to get the games.

"If it's a price error I get it a little bit, but do not just send an email saying your order has been cancelled. If it was for me it would have been acceptable, it's because it's for my little boy."

Emma filled out a customer survey and asked for someone from the store to contact her, but as of yet has heard nothing.

When contacted by Sun Online an Argos spokesperson said, “Due to a technical error this product was temporarily displayed with the wrong price. We contacted customers individually to explain and apologise for the confusion. We’re sorry for the disappointment this caused Corey.”
